The Giant Panda Breeding Research Base in Chengdu

Giant Panda at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in China. We arrived in time for the pandas feeding and they where really focused on their bamboo.

The giant pandas in the video are all cubs - less than 1 year old. The adult giant pandas are kept in a separate area. The cubs were conceived at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding located outside Chengdu, China.

Giant pandas at the Chengdu Research Base live in large naturalistic habitats, which help the visitor to understand how these animals live in the wild .

The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is working to protect the species.

The babies{ 3-year-old } love feeding time, so many tasty treats! Please check out "xiongmaomeng's" comment for the cubs names!

There are only a couple of thousand Giant Pandas with their distinctive black and white coloring left in the world, about half of them in the wild in Sichuan province in central western China and the rest in captivity in zoos and research facilities in China and various other countries, including two, Wang Wang and Funi, at the Adelaide Zoo.
